but it's time to get surr-ious people... for now.
in the blogging world it is easy (and oh so fun) to stumble upon other people's blogs. i have found some amazing blogs out there with great recipes, beauty tips, inspirations, and what-not. but one blog has stuck out more than the others. it is that of Kelle Hampton. not only does she live in naples, fl (where a lot of my family lives) she has an incredible story to tell. and no, i've never met her (or had any communication with her what-so-ever) but she has over 17,000 followers, which is saying a LOT compared to my... 6.
you see, i have always had a significant place in my heart for special needs children. i did my field placement for the social work department at WCU doing developmental therapy with children of different physical and mental handicaps. i can't explain to you the joy i got out of my work with these children, and i have always believed that they are just one of the precious gifts God has given us in this life.
that is just one reason why kelle's story touched me...
kelle's blog details the story of her life as a wife and a mother of two (one of which is a little girl with down syndrome). she is also the author of the new book called bloom: finding beauty in the unexpected. her book debuted on april 3rd and can be found in pretty much any well-known bookstore across the country,
including barnes & noble.
it's definitely next on my reading list, and probably should be next on yours as well.
definitely watch this awesome book trailer and you will get a glimpse at why her story is so incredible...
also make sure you check out her blog... Enjoying the Small Things... and show her some love. for a detailed look into her story with her precious nella cordelia start HERE.
plus, the book trailer includes one of my all-time favorite quotes, so i kind of have to love it.
"tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life" -mary oliver.
hope you are as touched as i was when i came across kelle's story.j.
